- YayınAçık ErişimTeacher Education and Foreign Language Teacher Professionalism in the 21st Century(Informascope, 2020) TÜTÜNİŞ, BİRSEN; Yalman, DuyguThe quality of foreign language teaching improves so long as foreign language teachereducation quality is increased. However, it is not easy to measure the quality of ForeignLanguage Teacher Education (FLTE) programmes due to the factors related not to theprogramme but to the learner variables. It has been proved by the research (Sutton Trust2011) that improving teacher effectiveness has a great impact on learner outcomes. In the21st century, Professional development of the teacher has gained importance due to theprecedence given to the learners. For this reason frameworks and models have been proposedto enhance the quality of teacher education (i.e. NIE, VSK Model, 2009).This paper focuseson Teacher Education programme models and the criteria put forward by these models. Acomparison of Turkish and other FLTE programmes is given in order to bring clarity to theconcept of professionalism. The small-scale research results conducted in Turkish context(n81) to check upon foreign language teacher knowledge and beliefs on efficacy andprofessionalism are also displayed.
- YayınAçık ErişimIncorporating Advising Strategies into One-to-One Tutoring: Effects on the Awareness Towards Vocabulary Learning(Kanda University of International Studies, 2021) Aydın, Doğuş; TÜTÜNİŞ, BİRSENLanguage advising helps a language learner discover different ways of learning and enables him/her to make decisions for better learning. This paper reports on an inquiry conducted with one English language learner who had difficulty with vocabulary acquisition which led to a perceived lack of progress in learning. The main purpose of the research was to observe and interpret the experience of the learner in terms of how different teaching and learning strategies appeared to affect her vocabulary learning. Qualitative research instruments including a semi-structured interview and a diary were used for this study. The results showed an increase in the learner's control over her vocabulary learning process which was likely facilitated by the incorporation of language advising strategies into individual private tutoring.
- YayınAçık ErişimThe Effects of Extensive Reading on Turkish Learners' L2 Reading/Writing Performance and Foreign Language Self-Concept(Asia TEFL, 2020) Yılmaz, Melda; Atay, Derin; ER, MUSTAFAThis study investigates the impact of extensive reading (ER) program, which integrates extensive reading with in-class follow-up writing activities, on Turkish EFL learners' L2 reading/writing and foreign language self-concept (FLSC). In this research, conducted in a Turkish university, experimental design was used and the experimental group was exposed to ER for six weeks different from the control group. Data was collected by means of L2 reading and writing tests and Foreign Language Self-concept Scale (FLSCS) (Er, 2007) given at the beginning and at the end of the intervention, and by means of focus group interviews carried out with 10 randomly chosen experimental group students. Analyses of the data showed a significant difference between control and experimental groups regarding their L2 reading and writing performance. The difference between the groups' FLSC was found to be insignificant, though within group analyses indicated that ER affected the students' FLSC positively. Qualitative data, interviews, supported the quantitative data and revealed that the project also improved students' motivation and self-confidence as well as various aspects of L2 language ability and fostered their positive self images as EFL learners. The insights gained from the study provide important implications for English language teaching programmes in EFL context.
- YayınSadece MetadataSpaces of memory and memories of space in Alaa al-Aswany's The Yacoubian Building and Elif Shafak's The Flea Palace(Springer, Van Godewıjckstraat 30, 3311 GZ Dodredht, Netherlands, 2019-12) Turan, Ayşegül; 273470Alaa al-Aswany's The Yacoubian Building and Elif Shafak's The Flea Palace emerge as microcosmic representations of contemporary Egypt and Turkey, respectively, through their focus on apartment buildings and their residents. Both the Yacoubian Building of Cairo and Bonbon Palace of Istanbul, once famous for their grandeur and now in a dilapidated state, embody the social, political and economic transformation of each society not only through the depiction of diverse characters inhabiting these buildings but also with the architectural and spatial characteristics of the buildings themselves. As social hierarchies and relations are mapped onto spatial organization and architectural details, the very physicality of these buildings gains importance to comprehend the complicated, and at times tumultuous, individual and collective stories and histories. This article focuses on the uses of space and history of urban space to examine the representation of the notions of memory, nostalgia, and disillusionment within the context of these two societies. As these multi-story buildings become manifestations of the multilayered history and structure of each society, they also reveal the tensions and fragmentation in contemporary urban life and space. While both these novels, with the microcosm of buildings' residents, strive to create a sense of collective belonging as one big family living under the same roof, their rather bleak portrayals of the buildings, nonetheless, underline a fragmented and ruptured sense of belonging and overall disenchantment, thus questioning the idea of shared destiny and the promise of common future.
- YayınSadece MetadataNew Trends In Elt: Blending Disciplines For 21st Century Foreign Language Learning(2019-11) Tütüniş, Birsen; 6808The quality of foreign language teaching improves so long as foreign language teacher education is under constant change according to the challenging demands of age we live. The vision for 21st century learning P21 (Bellanca, 2010) offers a holistic and systemic view of how we can reconceptualize and reinvigorate public education bringing together all the elements- 21st century student outcomes and 21st century education support systems- into a unified framework. The main purpose is stated to be the preparation of the students for a better learning that would support them in their lifelong struggles. The belief that doing well in school no longer gurantees a lifelong job or career, as it did in the past. Future learning is highly different from the past. It has been proved by the research (Higgins, May, 2011) that improving teacher effectiveness has a great impact on learner outcomes.Therefore, teacher knowledge needs to be enhanced by blending all disciplines into one . This paper will focus on the new trends in English Language teaching and their effectiveness on learner outcomes.
